Monty Python and The Holy Grail Monty Python and The Holy Grail is one of those films that you either love or hate. As the title indicates, the film sends up Arthurian legends about the Holy Grail, but it has a lot of fun making fun of the middle ages. The hilarious cartoon interludes, based on medieval marginalia that break up the various scenes. And then there is the abrupt ending, which makes you wonder if the author just gave up? Which is a jab at medieval writers, because they typically had a hard time ending a tale as a modern day writer would. When the mythical king of the Britons leads his knights on a quest for the Holy Grail, they face many obstacles, including a persistent Black Knight, a three-headed giant, a group of shrubbery-challenged knights, the Castle Anthrax, a killer rabbit, a house of virgins, and a handful of rude Frenchmen. With the hilarious dialog and costumes, props (or lack there of) the film is a comical production for all ages i feel and will stand the test of time, as a classic.
